This is the shortlog for the changes in the security tree between
yesterday and today;

Casey Schaufler (32):
      Commit 272cd7a8c67dd40a31ecff76a503bbb84707f757 introduced     a change to the way rule lists are handled and reported in     the smackfs filesystem. One of the issues addressed had to     do with the termination of read requests on /smack/load.     This change introduced a error in /smack/cipso, which shares     some of the same list processing code.
